New York’s latest raved about artist comes to you as artist-producer, Raina Simone! The New York newcomer, based in Jersey via Harlem, returns with her most recent release! The multifaceted musician and producer hopes to highlight the genre’s significance and resonance in this way. In addition to the opportunities presented by the release of her new EP, To My Hearts.
To say the least, the NYC Drill era is one for the books. The rise of Late Brooklyn native Pop Smoke brought it to global attention, but it had been bubbling throughout the city even before his rise to fame. This 5-track EP demonstrates the genre’s duality, which is more than just a gorey, upbeat genre. Along with a classic Raina Simone twist. For those who are unaware, the Harlem native is classified as conscious-rap. Providing raw and gritty NYC lyricism with social and political bars and messages thrown in for good measure. To My Hearts represents the opposing viewpoint of those affected by the “drill.” It demonstrates adaptability and a genuine ability to be positive and understood.
Overall, a jack of all trades, the promising producer produced every track on her debut EP. Raina Simone’s sonic ear and lyrical ability will undoubtedly catapult her into the spotlight as one of the most memorable female emcees to date. Make sure to listen to Raina Simone and her debut To My Heartsbelow!
